cheers mate 

changing subject slightly.... is there a reason the discs would rust even with constant use? even if they were rusty before I got the car I would have thought the rust would have gone as we now use it regularly?

it's the fact that the pads dont use as much asbestos these days-and the quality/type of metal used for making disc's

If light rust isn't being swept off then you have to be looking for a seized caliper/piston or rusted in pad.

If the discs get too heavily rusted or pitted then normal braking won't clean the rust off. (the pad will wear away first)

Wifeys Fiesta has had a couple of brake issues, a crack sound every time you brake that has never been solved and the back drum stared making a grinding noise, turned out to be a tiny but pointless little clip had come adrift and lodged between the drum and shoe.
